Why he's the western superman to say the least
He was the roughest toughest critter never known to be a quitter
'Cause he never had no fear of man nor beast
So yippee I ay I ya yippee I o
He's the toughest critter west of the alamo
Now once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle
But they didn't know the herd they stole was bill's
And when he caught them crooked villains
Pecos knocked out all their fillings
That's the reason why there's gold them thar hills
So yippee I ay I ya yippee I o
He's the toughest critter west of the alamo
Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert
Water water water
It was ninety miles across the burning sand
Water water water
He knew he'd never reach the border
Water
If he didn't get some water
Water
So he got a stick and dug the rio grande
Yodeling
While a tribe of painted indians did a wardance
Pecos started shooting up their little game
He gave those redskins such a shakeup
That they jumped out of their makeup
That's how the painted desert got it's name
So yippee I ay I ya yippee I o
He's the toughest critter west of the alamo
While reclining on a cloud high over texas
With his guns he made the stars evaporate
Then pecos saw them stars declining
So he left one brightly shining
As the emblem of the lone star texas state
So yippee I ay I ya yippee I o
He's the toughest critter west of the alamo
So yippee I ay I ya yippee I o
He's the emblem of the lone star texas state
